Most of these players came of age during the Golden Age of Rock-N-Roll (Disco era aside) in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I’m bettting that most of this crew (present company included) are in their 30s or 40s.

But the relationship between markets and music goes both ways — not
only do analysts name their market reports after songs, but some
musicians are using the market as an inspiration for their music: Emerald Suspension’s Playing the Market[2] is Music based on stock-market activity.

The
stock market has long driven investors into a mild form of
schizophrenia, in which they’re obsessed with uncovering the mystical
patterns that supposedly underpin the chaos. UI architects develop
massive displays to visualize market activity, in hopes of spying
hidden rulesets; fresh-outta-college 20somethings hunch over
12-foot-square Excel spreadsheets, attempting to predict lucrative
spread inflection-points.

Now a group of artists have made music out of it. Emerald Suspension
is a musical unit that — as it proclaims on its web site — records
music "based on patterns created by the stock market, economic
indicators, algorithms, and other data sources." Their album Playing
the Market includes songs derived from the Consumer Confidence Index,
the efficient market hypothesis, and measures of the national debt.
